The Chosen Heart

Episode 114

''Yes, the Alloh. Don't be so hard on Napa?'' moaning Hanan, he lifted his body.Watching a hearty look at his wife.

''Sorry Mas, release.'' Pinta Zahwa's. While stroking his shoulders.

''Neng Zahra and Gus Hanif were also going home but just now Abah yai called. He said they were late for the flight today. Only tomorrow morning, they can go home." Badrun.

''Ooh. Far away, it turns out not to bring Zahra home with Hanif. '' Surya said.

Surya invited Badrun to sit with them. Their orders have also come.

" What do you want to eat Drun?'' Ask Surya.

Badrun looks embarrassed when Surya invites him to eat together. He went to this cafe just wanted to buy a drink, uh not even his year met with Surya who came straight to him.

''No need to kang. I just wanted a drink.''

''Undoubtedly. I buy /, you order whatever you want.''

Surya patted Badrun's back. He knew that the Dhalem santri was starting to get along with himself and his family.

Finally Badrun asked Surya to choose whatever he wanted. Badrun was too embarrassed, if he chose his own menu.

Bik Asih who just went to the toilet, looks already back. Looks like he's exhausted. His old age, made his body strength decrease. But, yesterday Zahwa asked that he was allowed to come along. Bik Asih is happy not to play

He, did not complain about his body that might be exhausted while on the way.

''Brother, need medicine? I brought pain medication . It might help." Tawar Zahwa while rummaging through the contents of his bag. And took out some medicinal tablets, handing them to Bik Asih.

''Thank you non.'' Reply Bik Asih. He started taking the medicine.

Zahwa told him to eat immediately as well. And rest his body.

''By the way - kang_

Zahwa was stuck when he wanted to call Badrun, because he forgot his name.

''Badrun neng,'' Sahut Badrun while slightly bowing.

''Oh yes. Kang Badrun does Zahra come home every year at the haul hut event like tomorrow?'' Ask Zahwa.

''Yes neng. Neng Zahra and Gus Hanif any busier must have come home during the haul event. Especially tomorrow, at the wedding."

Uhuk uhuk .

All choked on his food after hearing Badrun's statement.All eyes were on him .

''You mean how?'' Ask Zahwa. He was the most enthusiastic.

Surya who choked took a drink. Hanan did the same thing.Badrun got confused when he saw the people in front of him choking simultaneously.

''Is it, right? Tomorrow, Zahra is married to Surya Kang. That's Abah yai''' story.'' Badrun is clearer .

All quiet. Bengong with the phrase expressed Badrun . Tomorrow, Zahra is married to Surya Kang. Meaning how?

''So tomorrow Zahra is also getting married?" ask Surya.

Suddenly there was a sense of uncertainty in his heart.

"Well, how is this story.'' Zahwa.

''It's good, non. Sister Zahra married, same Mas Surya.'' Sahut Bik Asih's.

Zahwa could only grin without answering. His head was dizzy for a moment. I don't know why, his brain is dead-end and can no longer digest anyone's speech.

"What does Bik Asih say is true? Should be smart, right? Why even upset? We already know the answer, right? Tomorrow who gets married.'' Hanan Sahut. He continued his food. He was also surprised when Badrun said that Zahra would get married.

I want Zahwa to moan at her husband. But he didn't because there was Badrun there.

''Means tomorrow who married me and Zahra?'' Tanya Surya confirmed.

''Yes kang. Cook you don't know." Answer Badrun

''Not knowing. I thought it was just me, Surya said.

Hanan immediately smiled faintly at her brother's statement. But he remained silent after that.

''Well, how is this Surya Kang. How strange until Iki.'' Chirps Badrun.

Solar silent. He seemed to think of something, but I don't know what it was. It's like something's awkward, but what? He has not found yet.

Surya's thoughts crept on the night of the conversation he and Kyai Jauhari had. At that time, Zahra also called him. He did hear that Kyai Jauhari would choose a young man for himself later. But, Surya thought it was just a talk. But in fact, it happened and so fast.

What may be meant by kyai Jauhari is Gus Hakim. The son of his old master. That night also kyai Jauhari said if he would invite Gus Hakim to pickle the haul. And asked Surya to go with him.

But , not yet done. She got word that her aunt died. And ask permission on kyai Jauhari to go home first.

Huh! Surya sighed harshly . The memory of Zahra soared in his mind. The charming girl was close to him. His smile, always soothing anyone who looks.He is also very polite, intelligent and most of all he Sholehah. Lucky for the guy who will be there later.

Also, if Kyai Jauhari chooses a Gus for himself. They will fit later. Both from pesantren families and also have broad religious views.

A knot smile suddenly radiated from Surya's face. Remembering their last night in the courtyard of the mosque.Place , they used to meet. Dive into the ocean of knowledge in the yellow books he carries.

A few days before that Zahra painstakingly explained chapter by chapter the contents of the book. Full of patience and sometimes teased when Surya feel tense.

Until that night came. Because of the direction of Zahwa and Hanan they almost misunderstood. Wherever possible, a Zahra could like her. Although, it can be accepted if previously he had liked his sister.

But he and Hanan, they have a lot of differences. Sometimes even the opposite. His sister has a thousand charms in her. And he, just to line up with himself. He has to work hard.

At that time, he himself could not accept someone in his life. Still hesitating about what he should do. Just now he was hurt by the love that had suddenly disappeared before his eyes and that made it hard to trust himself again.

''Why are you dumb?" Ask Hanan.

He observed his wife and brother were daydreaming.Entah, what was on their minds.

Isn't good. Obviously the santri named Badrun said that his brother would marry Zahra. Why does it look so sad.

Or maybe, actually they still haven't let each other down. Zahwa, his wife was upset because it only realized that her ex-lover was going to get married. And his brother, Surya. Actually, I'm not ready to get married.

The contents of that thought poisoned Hanan. Suddenly he was annoyed with the two people in front of him. Maybe they showed that feeling of slump right now, right in front of his eyes.

''Hai ''Hi...You two! I was asking? Why not answer?'' Hanan ride on apitam.

Making Zahwa and Surya's daydreams crumble. Badrun who was eating his food until choked with shock. He ate it without chewing it.

Bik Asih, he stopped eating because he saw Hanan was angry.
